The GREATEST action hero in the last 25 years is without question, Tom Cruise, had a rare underperforming film with Edge of Tomorrow. It underperformed so much in North America, they changed the title to Live, Die, Repeat which was the title of the Manga comic book/graphic novel/whatever you nerds call it. Alex Hooper loves Tom Cruise films as well as Emily Blunt (and who doesn't?) but he doesn't love the lack of pretext and disjointed plot. Cruise superfan and Mission Impossible lover,...

Notre Dame football, an underdog story, and Mikey from the Goonies or Sam the Hobbit from Lord of the Rings.

We live in a world that has people find Pixar movies (not including this recent awful batch) overrated and we've now found our 2nd detractor. JL Cauvin returns for the 4th time to share why Inside Out is disappointing and how it's NOT a top tiered Pixar film. JL loves Coco, Toy Story 1-4, and the Incredible to name a few.

Don Jamieson (That Jamieson Show on Compound Media, That Metal Show, Comedy Central) has picked arguably the GOAT of mob movies, Goodfellas. You have to been as flummoxed as Kevin Gootee and Kevin Israel were when Don made his selection. Why does he hate Tommy, Henry, Paulie, Janice Rossi, the whore in 2R, and of course, KAAAAAAREN!

The Citizen Kane of quirky, nerd comedies is possibly about to get its comeuppance. The Royal Tenenbaums is debatably the best of Wes Anderson films. Gene Hackman, Owen Wilson, Luke Wilson (thankfully they have different hair color and noses), Gwyneth Paltrow (I hate that I had to google her correct name spelling and remind myself that her kid's name is Apple) Ben Stiller, and Roger Murtaugh himself round out this cast of Upper West Siders you would never invite over your house.
